Happy Homemaker Monday

Good Morning! And welcome to Happy Homemaker Monday. Dear Sandra is our weekly host for Happy Homemaker Monday and always has fun things to share. I hope you will pop over to Diary of a Stay at Home Mom to see what she's been up to!I was so happy to see that my blog has over 50,000 views now! Woo Hoo! Thank you all for checking in to see what's going on in my little world! I truly love to share with you!

Breakfast time....what is on the plate this morning::::Wednesday is a fast day so no breakfast for this girl! I do have plans for a great big salad for lunch!Looking around the house::::Dog toys litter the livingroom...again...always! Everything else looks pretty good. I want to put a fall wreath up in the livingroom this week.On today's to do list::::Laundry...I need to do a couple loads of laundry today! There is always laundry to do but I guess I can be thankful we all have plenty of clothes.Food Preservation...I really need to get some tomatoes canned this week! We got the sauerkraut started last week (45 Liters of it) and the Jujubes are drying nicely but now I need to get the tomatoes done!Stampin' Up!...I need to deliver orders later in the week and make a few cards today before I put my stamping stuff away. Crocheting...I am still working on the yellow baby afghan. I am also working on a pretty pink scarf and earwarmer set for a three year old (need to finish this week!). I need to start working on some clothes for my granddaughter's American Girl doll. Cooking...Today we will have a big salad, homemade dressing and homemade whole wheat bread.

Currently reading::::The Deep Blue Sea for Beginners by Luanne RiceOne Simple Act by Debbie Macomber (this book is so good I may have to read it over when I finish)Sycamore Row by John Grisham (audio)On the TV today::::I watched The Paradise last night and might get an episode or two of the Gilmore Girls in tonight.The weather outside is::::It has been chilly in the mornings but warms up to low 70s (F) in the afternoon. I really can't complain tho I know the cold is coming. Just trying to soak up the last little bit of warmth!

On the menu this week::::As you know if you read my Happy Homemaker Monday posts, I am not much of a menu-maker. I know it would be good but most of the time I just work with what's here. We still have so much in the garden that I just think about what's there and what sounds yummy to eat! Seems to work for us.

If I have a few minutes to myself, I will::::Work on making a few cards!

New recipe I tried, or want to try this week::::Just this morning I got found a recipe for Easy Tomato Basil Blender Soup. I have lots of tomatoes so thought I would give it a try this week. I may have found my new favorite soup:) I ordered the covered baker and proofing bowl last week for my new Artisan bread so hopefully will get to do that next week.One of my simple pleasures::::Chocolate:) Especially Dove Dark Chocolate! Hubby tries to buy me "designer" chocolate but I still like Dove the best!

Favorite photo from the camera::::Nothing today...sorry! I really need to take some pictures!Visiting with Blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye)::::I enjoy Patty's Stamping Spot and the current post is for The Control Freak Blog Tour! So many creative stampers. I hope you get a chance to check it out!Praying for::::Friends and familyBible Verse, Devotional that is resonating with me at the moment:::: "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." ---1 Thessalonians 5:18

Your homemade bread makes my mouth water. I hope you will enjoy Sycamore Row. It is a GREAT read. I read it this past summer. I had to laugh as well when you said you have dogs toys all over the living room. I have dog hair all over so wish I had your "problem!" Have a blessed week
